A home in the Charente Maritime


After 5 years of holidaying in the Charente Maritime we thought about buying our own property there.  Not looking for a high maintenance option or a restoration project we looked at some of the new build options. On one of our favourite cycle rides through the hamlet of La Valade one afternoon we saw a sign in a field with plots for sale and a number to call.  That was the beginning of an amazing adventure for us which has resulted in our very on holiday home just 5 minutes from the Atlantic coast.  Here are some photos which show the journey from farmers field to Cul de Sac.  Our French neighbours have been very helpful and given us lots of advice along the way.  If you fancy a holiday in a beautiful location in a modern well equipped bungalow click on the accommodation & contact powerpoint.
